Agile or "lightweight" processes have revolutionized the software development industry. They're faster and more efficient than traditional software development processes. They enable developers to

embrace requirement changes during the project

deliver working software in frequent iterations

focus on the human factor in software development

Unfortunately, most agile processes are designed for small or mid-sized software development projects—bad news for large teams that have to deal with rapid changes to requirements. That means all large teams!

With Agile Software Development in the Large, Jutta Eckstein—a leading speaker and consultant in the agile community—shows how to scale agile processes to teams of up to 200. The same techniques are also relevant to teams of as few as 10 developers, especially within large organizations.

Topics include

the agile value system as used in large teams

the impact of a switch to agile processes

the agile coordination of several sub-teams

the way project size and team size influence the underlying architecture
